Global Village: autumn/winter decorating trend 2011

Weve fallen for all things tribal and ethnic as seen in all sorts of ranges, from weaving to basketry. From high end to high street there are beautiful designs to choose from, whether on curtain fabrics, upholstery, bedlinen or rugs and runners. The most popular colours this season are a mix of terracotta and deep chocolate shades.

How to get the look

This cosy, textured style suits living rooms and hallways. Paint the walls in a neutral, minky shade. Layer up texture in the form of woven fabrics, rugs and runners and enhance the effect with candle or electric light. Look for fabrics with giant patterns that have a hand-woven feel, ones that are either irregularly geometric or soft around the edges. Complement with wooden furniture and basket-style accessories.
